Testosterone enanthate side effects


Testosterone Enanthate is a testosterone ester that was synthesized in 1952. It is used to treat hypogonadism, that is, a natural lack of testosterone in the body. It is the most widely used form of testosterone in androgen replacement therapy. Testosterone enanthate is widely used in sports. Introduced into the body by intramuscular injection.
Contraindications.
Hypersensitivity to testosterone and its esters, breast cancer (in men), prostate cancer (known or suspected), pregnancy, lactation, use in women who are able to become pregnant.
Additionally:
- for depot testosterone (testosterone cypionate) - serious diseases of the heart, liver or kidneys;
- for testosterone enanthate (s / c) and undecanoate (orally) - use in men with hypogonadal conditions not associated with structural or genetic etiology (for example, age-related hypogonadism).

Side effects of testosterone enanthate include, among others, virilization. In normal men, approximately 10 percent of testosterone enanthate is converted to dihydrotestosterone. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) can promote masculinity in both men and women. These male characteristics include clitoral hypertrophy, androgenetic alopecia, body hair growth, and deepening of the vocal cords. DHT also plays an important role in male sexual function and may also be a contributing factor to ischemic priapism in men, as shown in a study using finasteride to treat ischemic priapism in men. Testosterone enanthate can also increase igf-1 and igf-bp. Testosterone enanthate can also be converted to estradiol by aromatase, which can lead to gynecomastia in men. Aromatase inhibitors can help prevent the estrogenic activity of testosterone enanthate in the body.
